Read the passage given below and answer the questions based on your understanding of thepassage. (Question Nos. 141-145) In the late 1990s the publishing world launched a new systeminto the information and publishing world called Digital Object Identifiers (DOIs). DOIs arealphanumeric character strings that identify objects in an electronic environment. DOIs areuniversal, unique and permanent identification tags for online content that is registered in anonline directory. DOIs can cover any form of digital files such as text, image, video, audio oreven software. DOIs can also cover many levels of content. For example, it might tag an entirebook, a chapter in the book, illustrations, individual sentences, or perhaps the book’s index. It isa system that identifies creation endeavours and uniquely marks the content of these items. It isintended to individualize information units on the Web. DOIs can be placed in a variety ofplaces, such as in the object itself, in an information structure that contains the object, on a Webpage that describes the element, in a database or as an entry in an indexing system. The identifiertags have no intrinsic meaning, as a classification code does. They are content labels, each beingunique and without duplicates. The identifiers are stored in a directory that allows the lookup ofthe current Internet address of the copyright owner and where the information now resides. The


author, publisher or current owner is responsible for maintaining the response page, whichpresents data about the information item and the conditions of its use. The directory of DOIsroutes inquiries to the up-to-date sites on the Internet for accessing the content of the object.When addresses change, the directory will route the query to where the content is currentlylocated or to where information is given concerning how to obtain it. Over time, when objectsmove around or change ownership, the directory keeps tabs on these changes.

Although the major purpose of the DOI system is the management of intellectual property,indexing and abstracting services, as well as document delivery services will find DOIs a usefultool.

Read the passage below and answer the questions based on understanding of the passage.(Answer 191-195 questions)

Communication media have evolved along with technological transformations and progress.Man’s inborn need to communicate led to the first medium for the global transmission ofinformation – the printing press, followed by the rotary printing press. But the need forinformation has always been in continuous growth, so that inventions such as telegraph had to beadopted for information transmission by waves. Indeed, the radio was one of the society’s greattechnological and democratizing advances. But there is no doubt that television has succeeded inmaking McLuhan’s idea of the existence of a television tribe a reality. Large companies, whichcontrol access to information by methods that are close to being a monopoly, wage fierce battlesin order to control mass media, especially television.

The “fourth power’ collects, disseminates and preserves a great quantity of information. Thisinformation is thematically diverse and exists in a wide variety of formats and media. In order tocontrol such an important business asset, almost all television broadcasters have set adocumentation service that is responsible for satisfying journalists’ information needs and for the


maintenance of the firm’s intellectual and cultural heritage. Documentation centres are just thevisible aspects of a great documentation web involving different classes of documents, variedmedia and the diverse requirements of end users. The computerization of documentationstructures is a reality that is sustained by a constant exchange of information between documentalists and communication scientists, aimed at enabling the preservation of information and accessto this information by means of a standard set of parameters.

The thematic descriptors must describe, viewed and referred content in the audiovisualdocuments with precision. Thematic identification has a special importance since it is the usualmethod for accessing information. For these fields, different television companies use differentproprietary ad hoe tools, with thesauri being the formula employed to control vocabulary. Therehave also been experiments aimed at developing effective tools based on faceted classifications.The fact that audio-visual information has to be analysed from two different perspectives in orderto understand the challenges offered by this kind of document should be considered. The visualand the sonorous sometimes are complementary, and consequently must be studied and analysedby the information manager. Sound and visual tracks do often collaborate to create a jointinformative message, but it is also very common the case where both contribute to create quitedifferent meanings.

That is why I amenthusiastic about working for a smaller company like this which I know encouragesemployees to use their initiative."Or"There was a lack of growth opportunities in such as small company.

Tell me about yourself

This is one of the most common interview questions and answers are tough to formulate.Where to start, where to end, what to focus on!

Prepare for this question and you can use it as a great opportunity to sell yourself!

Refer to your background research and review the job requirements, focus on how youspecifically meet these needs.

For example, if the job requires you to work as part of a team, tell the interviewer aboutthe projects you have undertaken as a team-member.


Most jobs require an element of team work, so this is a good aspect to focus on whenthinking about answers to this interview question

Use this sample answer to help prepare your own good interview answer to thisquestion:

n your answer highlight how your skills, knowledge and experience relate to the joband the company profile.

Where you were born and grew up, or what pets you have is not likely to show theinterviewer why you are a good candidate for the job opportunity.

The interviewer wants to know if you will fit in with the rest of the team, the departmentand the company.

The interviewer is also trying to find out what motivates you and whether it is consistentwith what the job and the employer offer.

What are your strengths?

Candidates often find it hard to verbalize their strengths, so spend some time thinkingabout this before the interview.

What are your interests? Building beautiful doll house furniture may not immediatelyseem to have any relevance to that accounting position, but the attention to detail neededfor this is definitely a job-relevant strength.

What have been your successes, what attributes did you have to demonstrate to achievethem? Ask your friends, colleagues and family to tell you what they appreciate about you.How will these attributes benefit a future employer?

Don't just list your strengths, back them up with facts. An attribute is far more powerful ifit is rooted in a relevant example. Sample free interview answers include:

"I'm an adaptable person. I work for three different managers, they have very differentmanagement styles and expectations of me. I am able to adjust my approach to meet eachof their needs"

Avoid over-used, vague terms such as "people's person". Be specific and pertinent.

"I am good with customers. I enjoy the challenge of turning a dissatisfied customer into asatisfied one. Just last week I had an experience when ......." and quote a specific exampleof how you successfully managed an unhappy client.

Focus on three or four strengths. Good examples include organizational and planningskills, perseverance, persuasive ability, communication skills, leadership ability, stress


tolerance, ability to learn and apply new information and skills, flexibility, independence,problem-solving, creativity, technical and professional knowledge, reliability, self-motivation and initiative.

What are your weaknesses?

"I'm impatient with people who don't work at the same pace as me but I'm learning tomanage this. I make sure that they have the right resources for the job, I follow up to seethat they are on track and I step in and help when needed"

"I can be disorganized, I am aware of this and make sure I answer my emails andmessages straight away. I update my calendar as soon as I have a new task orappointment, this really helps"

good guide is to acknowledge one or two weaknesses, describe the efforts made toovercome these and end your story on a positive note.

"I've been reluctant to delegate. I have had to re-evaluate this as it was creating a bigworkload for me. I assign each person a specific, manageable task and then follow up tosatisfy myself that it is being done properly, this seems to work well"

Some weaknesses can be interpreted as a strength. Examples include:

"I can be a bit aggressive in getting to my goals"

"At times I can get too involved in other people's problems, trying to help them"

These are two of the most difficult questions to answer in the job interview. Prepare usingthese sample free interview answers and stand out as the right candidate.
